DescriptionThis small bottle from the 3rd–4th century CE has a tall, straight-sided form and was made from patchy, dark-colored glass. The rim is folded in three directions, and the mouth flares into a funnel shape. The base is flat with a shallow dent in the center and a small circular scar from where it was removed from the blowing tool.
